Boston’s editor talks about the cover: This city is my home. I live in it because I choose to. My love for it is boundless and, at times, irrational.

But I do love this city. I love its atrocious accent, its inferiority complex in terms of New York, its nut-job drivers, the insane logic of its street system. I get a perverse pleasure every time I take the T in the winter and the air-conditioning is on in the subway car, or when I take it in the summer and the heat is blasting. Bostonians don’t love easy things, they love hard things — blizzards, the bleachers in Fenway Park, a good brawl over a contested parking space. Two different friends texted me the identical message yesterday: They messed with the wrong city.

Examples of overwhelming kindness following the Boston Marathon explosions.

So much love for my home city right now.

I work in the Emergency Department of a major Boston hospital and trauma center. I had so been looking forward to the end of my shift then heading over to Beacon to soak up some sun and festivities, picking up some fro-yo along the way, when I heard the first EMS radio dispatch. Within 10 minutes, waves of stretchers being wheeled in, pools of blood trailing after them, and the smell of burned skin filling the department.

I don’t know what it was — the gruesomeness of some of the injuries I saw, the arbitrariness of who the victims were, the initial barely controlled swarming chaos overtaken by a grimly determined teamwork and professionalism — but I had to slip into a back stairwell for a moment to stop myself from shaking.

I have felt shock, horror, sadness, fury, pride and a sense of wonder at the goodness of humanity course through me in the past 9 hours. I am not at all surprised at the outpouring of kindness and generosity throughout Boston… its people has never lacked for heart. I feel very overwhelmed and right now can only say —

My city ♥
